[edit] Description
Unknown appears to be a tortured soul which has been enslaved by the "Forest Demon" (which takes the form of a wolf-like appearance and appears behind her in fights, controlling and mimicking her actions). Unknown also has a symbol tattooed on her upper right arm which resembles that of Jin Kazama's, and can use different fighting styles, though her fighting style defaults to that of Jin's mother, Jun Kazama. However, since she has only appeared in Tekken Tag Tournament and no prologue is given, to date little else is known about her.
[edit] The "Unknown / Jun" Controversy
It is interesting to note that Unknown's starting with the fighting style of Jun Kazama at the onset of every battle and their similar features have led many to believe that this creature is a possessed Jun Kazama. However, in the minigame Tekken Bowl, it's revealed that Unknown is right handed and that Jun is right handed. But because Namco has not commented on nor featured this character in any of the series' subsequent games, this remains a heated controversy amongst fans.
[edit] Gameplay
During gameplay, when playing against her, Unknown has the ability to regenerate her health since she doesn't have a tag team partner, and she can also insert "un-regenable" health into the player's energy bar (dark-red shade that does not regenerate when character is resting, or tagged out). In addition, once her health has been depleted, her regenerable health must also be depleted to defeat her. Unknown can change her fighting styles, much like Mokujin/Tetsujin and Combot, although neither of these three characters could change styles during the fight, whereas Unknown can; when a human player is playing as Unknown, this is accomplished with the press of the R3 button.
[edit] History and Ending
In Unknown's ending, she is able to break free from the mind control spell that was placed upon her. When she gains her normal consciousness, she begins to breathe heavily and wonders where she is. The Wolf Demon creeps up from behind and tries to nail her across the head, allowing it to consume her easily. Unknown, however, senses its presence, and dodges the attack and retaliates with a jab of her own. This causes her arm to get stuck in its stomach. The Wolf Demon then places its hands over her face and consumes her, thus finally reaching its complete form (it was missing legs and feet, in which Unknown now supplied). However, the Wolf Demon begins to growl in agony, since Unknown begins to destroy the demon from within. Unknown manages to rip out of its body, thus gaining her consciousness and freedom from its control. After ripping out of the Demon's body, Unknown gets up off of the ground and smiles.
[edit] Trivia
- Unknown also appears in Ogre's Tekken Tag Tournament ending. In this ending, Ogre has defeated Jin Kazama, and he is about to consume Jin's soul. However, Jin is saved by the appearance of Unknown, and it is implied Ogre and Unknown then fight each other. She is seen without the Wolf Demon.
- A normal fight against Unknown is only one round even if the default settings are used.
- Unknown is the only character in Tekken Tag Tournament to have an actual movie as her ending, in place of a scene acted out by in game animations.
